that_o muhamed_a lay_n down_o nothing_o in_o the_o alcoran_n but_o what_o the_o two_o cutler_n tell_v he_o and_o as_o they_o inform_v he_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o people_n of_o mecca_n say_v that_o the_o alcoran_n be_v nothing_o but_o old_a story_n and_o in_o divers_a place_n of_o the_o alcoran_n it_o be_v say_v in_o arabic_a ocalu_n inhede_v ille_fw-la azatero_fw-la aleguelin_n i._n e._n that_o the_o alcoran_n be_v nothing_o but_o ancient_a story_n what_o the_o comment_n say_v upon_o the_o premise_n be_v most_o ridiculous_a among_o other_o thing_n it_o say_v that_o solomon_n carry_v

her_o place_n be_v leave_v open_a through_o the_o which_o the_o sunbeam_n shine_v and_o touch_v solomon_n face_n whereupon_o solomon_n grow_v angry_a and_o threaten_v the_o whoop_o as_o be_v aforesaid_a tell_v she_o that_o he_o will_v torture_v she_o and_o cut_v off_o her_o head_n now_o speak_v o_o moor_n what_o think_v you_o of_o this_o story_n consider_v that_o it_o have_v no_o reason_n nor_o any_o semblance_n of_o truth_n in_o it_o nor_o be_v it_o to_o any_o purpose_n or_o necessary_a to_o mention_v or_o allege_v such_o a_o story_n much_o less_o of_o such_o a_o man_n as_o solomon_n and_o which_o be_v not_o mention_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n observe_v likewise_o o_o moor_n the_o threat_n and_o menace_n which_o solomon_n use_v to_o the_o whoop_o of_o torture_n and_o death_n which_o thing_n and_o story_n be_v more_o like_o the_o tale_n and_o feign_a story_n which_o be_v use_v to_o little_a child_n than_o the_o say_n of_o a_o holy_a prophet_n and_o a_o holy_a scripture_n which_o the_o moor_n say_v the_o alcoran_n be_v so_o that_o i_o do_v hence_o conclude_v that_o the_o scripture_n which_o handle_v such_o thing_n be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o prophet_n that_o speak_v such_o fable_n be_v not_o a_o prophet_n of_o god_n likewise_o o_o moor_n thou_o ought_v to_o consider_v that_o if_o the_o thing_n aforesaid_a be_v true_a they_o will_v not_o have_v be_v forget_v to_o have_v be_v put_v into_o the_o old_a testament_n until_o they_o be_v insert_v in_o the_o moor_n alcoran_n wherefore_o you_o may_v well_o conceive_v that_o this_o aforesaid_a neither_o be_v true_a nor_o ever_o be_v furthermore_o in_o the_o fourteen_o chapter_n of_o the_o three_o book_n he_o bring_v in_o another_o story_n of_o solomon_n which_o be_v in_o arabic_a thus_o o_o same_o dellehum_fw-la etc._n etc._n i._n e._n that_o salomon_n death_n be_v not_o reveal_v to_o the_o devil_n but_o only_o by_o the_o worm_n that_o eat_v salomon_n staff_n whereby_o solomon_n sell_v down_o and_o so_o the_o devil_n perceive_v and_o know_v that_o he_o be_v dead_a which_o till_o then_o they_o know_v not_o which_o story_n be_v enlarge_v thus_o that_o solomon_n have_v imprison_v several_a devil_n and_o keep_v they_o torment_v in_o dungeon_n with_o chain_n and_o fetter_n of_o iron_n and_o when_o solomon_n be_v like_a to_o die_v he_o command_v that_o his_o body_n shall_v be_v embalm_v and_o that_o they_o shall_v clothe_v he_o as_o though_o he_o be_v alive_a and_o set_v he_o in_o his_o royal_a throne_n to_o make_v the_o devil_n believe_v that_o he_o be_v live_v and_o what_o solomon_n thus_o command_v be_v do_v and_o they_o put_v a_o staff_n into_o his_o hand_n and_o fix_v it_o in_o the_o ground_n that_o he_o may_v sit_v the_o steady_a and_o sure_a in_o the_o chair_n and_o that_o a_o worm_n come_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o eat_v through_o the_o staff_n and_o so_o solomon_n fall_v down_o whereby_o the_o devil_n know_v that_o solomon_n be_v dead_a and_o so_o they_o come_v out_o of_o the_o pain_n and_o torment_n wherein_o he_o have_v put_v they_o all_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v and_o be_v a_o great_a fable_n and_o lie_v than_o the_o former_a though_o they_o be_v both_o two_o great_a imposture_n and_o of_o little_a reason_n and_o judgement_n now_o tell_v i_o o_o moor_n whether_o the_o thing_n aforesaid_a be_v credible_a and_o worthy_a to_o be_v insert_v into_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n to_o say_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v not_o knowledge_n of_o salomon_n death_n when_o they_o daily_o see_v solomon_n in_o his_o throne_n and_o see_v that_o he_o neither_o eat_v drink_v sleep_v ride_v on_o horseback_n administer_v justice_n nor_o do_v any_o thing_n which_o he_o use_v to_o do_v when_o he_o be_v live_v who_o can_v believe_v these_o thing_n
